College fantasy football managers face critical lineup decisions as the season opens this week. Analysts advise targeting players in competitive matchups where starters are expected to remain on the field for three full quarters, rather than lopsided games where key personnel are pulled early. Specifically, Demond Williams of Washington and Cam Cook of West Virginia are highlighted as primary start options for their respective offenses. Conversely, managers are encouraged to bench LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt due to the strength of the Clemson defense, opting instead for players facing less competitive opponents. These recommendations aim to maximize playing time and statistical opportunities for rosters in the opening week of the season.
- •Demond Williams is a suggested start for Washington against Washington State.
- •Cam Cook is recommended for West Virginia against Coastal Carolina.
- •LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt should be benched against Clemson.
- •Jamari Johnson is a projected start for Oregon against Boise State.
